Joe the Plumber

[Dunbar Plumbing]

Not only aren't you licensed - your boss isn't licensed either? Uh-oh... I don't think he's gonna be very happy with all the attention you're bringing, Joe.

Time to brush off that resume, maybe?

Hey frenchie


Do they have a thread goin at the other yard?

I'm headin over there now.

Rugged....your statement is probably more true than you know...

If " plumber Joe " is anything like the fellows I have had work for me in the past, he probably has some sort of brain damage.....


I dont think either candidate should be trying to chum up to the guy


but what the hell,

he got his 15 minutes of fame.

that is what it all about in America, Right??... http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/16/joe-in-the-spotlight/?hphttp://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/16/joe-in-the-spotlight/?hp

I'd say he ought to enterprise it to the hilt,

Make as much as he can while he can, while he has all this focus.


And put the damn glue down!

Maybe he shoulda just called himself "Joe the Jackleg!"

 

[Master Plumber Mark]

get all you can out of it.....

the boobs in washington want to rub elbows
with the "common man" and will try to make
your their "poster boy" if your past is squeaky clean


or they will scrape you off like something they stepped in
if they find too much dirt on you that might reflect badly on them.....

(of course their past might not be impeccible but that is
another matter )


Maybe they will come back to your town for a photo opt with
you if they thinkit will win them some more votes.......

show them how to run a sewer machine Joe.........



If they are stupid enough to take you at face value
and are willing to listen and consider your opinions as valid,

which I have never done or will ever do with all my past helpers......

then I also suggest that you take them for all you can get...

open your mouth and start spouting anything you want to the reporters



Think of it this way...

you really cant do any worse than George Bush has done
you cant screw up any worse...



go for it.....

Dubya's dad did a pretty fair job of trashing the economy...
Remember "Read My Lips?"
Thank goodness he only went 1 term!!

Dubya has managed to drive a wood stake into the economy...
You can't spend money like he's doing without it coming from somewhere!
While his and Cheny's rich friends are doing quite well everyone else is suffering!

The bright side is that there is probably only one way the economy can go from here.
They only question is who will put money back into the hands of the masses quicker....
That will determine when the economy improves...

I can only hope that there aren't anymore Bush's waiting to enter future political careers involving a pesidential race...
I've had 2 of them in my pocket so far and I don't care much for their "No Grease" method of lovin the American public!

It was almost comical watching them whip the right into a nationalistic frenzy as Dubya ran for office.
I would venture to say that his economic policies hurt probably 3/4 of his "Glassy Eyed Retoric Spouting Supporters."
Yet, These blinded fools were whipped into a brainwashed cult running around saying it would be "Un-American" not to allow the Village Idiot From Crawford Texas a second term to finish driving the wood stake into the economy.

Funny thing...
I have a friend that was one of these "Glassy Eyed Retoric Spouting Fools" during the previous 2 elections...
He's got 3 signs on his front lawn...
A House for sale sign...
A forclosure sign...
And a McCain/Palin Sign...
Go Figure!

I believe that there should be a voter intellegence test...
And if your part of the "Darwin Was Right Crowd" you shouldn't be allowed to vote!

 

[Gary Slusser]

I believe that there should be a voter intellegence test...

I fully agree, especially for Obama supporters and independents.

I think you guys just need to have a beer together.
It's all good here in AK
It's been a wet Summer, but we're looking forward to drinking beer this Winter.
I'm missing my fifteen minutes though, kind of feeling abandoned right now.
But what? It's going to be beer drinking time when I get off a work.

The reason that king George the first only had one term
is becasue of the Gulf War...... He would have been a hero and
considered a great man if he would have finished the job in Iraq
when he was in office instead of hanging those people (our allies in Iraq )
out to dry like he did.... for that he can never be forgiven

Now his idiot son King George the second makes a big mess out of everything .

and Dont forget we could still have King Jeb Bush the third some day ...does that scare you???



John Mcain is a good man but he has a very tough road to haul.......thanks to these two stooges....

I hope that he can pull it out in the next few weeks..

.I think the best think he could
do is go out and apologise to everyone for Bushes behavior and mistakes..

get a new slogan going... like "dont blame me for the mess he made" .........

That would be the first Trophy Mount in my Open Season...

Just to ensure the Glassy Eyes Fools can't have that option...

Joe

They also do not have him every registered as an apprentice so he may have to go back to school. But then he owes taxes, and is broke so he couldn't buy the company even if he were qualified to. NEVER get into the limelight if you have skeletons in your closet.

There were some funny speeches on the CNN news web site with McCanin and Obama.


Obama made some some references about Krypton, but we all know that only one person was on that tiny ship.

 

[Dunbar Plumbing]

Damn Terry you da man!


I vote this thread of the year for all the new alternate nic members it created!


This forum needed a joe the plumber and joe six pack.

 

[Joe the Plumber]

Fifteen minutes, Yeah right!

I'm da guy advising McCain now. He can get rid of those white collar guys that have been messing up his campaign.

It's going to be all news, all Joe until election time.

Sarah thanked "old joe" in Indiana last night for makeing Obama slip up and
tell the world what his plans were...

re-distrubuteing the wealth to the "common man"

for most popple that translates to dreams of a larger wellfare check......




as far as adviseing him....dream on buddy...

its going to your head.....

Joe---how many hours do you work a week

JOE ---

you put up a poll and ask what everyone makes per year....


still thinking about buying that business and kicking back????




Why not put up a poll and ask everyone here how many
hours everyone has to put into their business every week?????


Its really not like you can go home and kick back with a beer every night
and think about how you are not getting good benefits...

.that is the employees job, past time and life-style..


you have to answer the phone, do the books, schedule the work,,,pay the bills
make sure your helpers show up for work sober every day...


and that all adds up to the time you put into that sweet business..............



I own the business and I am doing my books tonight
(while watching kick boxing) and I do all the physical work too

I usually work anywhere from 60-70hrs per week with no benefits.

if you average what I make a year and divide it by the hours
I put in....it really dont add up to that very much....


I might even go out on Sunday and put in a water heater.........


so does buying that sweet business still sound good???

Don't forget "relations" with the secretary who soon becomes pregnant and plays house with you until a better opportunity comes around...


then you have to sell the biz because you're better being a paycheck without a face.

B-BAP!!!


That was a call out for all divorced men to beat their chest in unity on that one.

Isn't that where creative bookeeping comes into play?

 

[Master Plumber Mark]

rugged..that is a big NO-NO

Rugged....If you actually got your secretary blowed up

that is the gift that keeps on giving and giving

---or takeing-----and takeing........


I have a 24 hour answering service with ladies answering the phone. and then pageing me with the calls. it cost about 200 per month...

that is much cheaper than the troubles that come with a lady in the office.. ....


.even if the lady answering your phone is your Mother like my parents did, it still is a stress on the family life........
(jesus christ!!!! maybe that is how I was conceived)



I use Quicken Pro 2006 and do my bookwork every Sunday morning.

I use paycheck to do my payroll....every week... its much much cheaper than doing it myself...

I notice that no one has mentioned how much they make
a year...... probably becasue they really dont know..


its just better than working for someone else
...

pay

Maybe no one answered because you didn't specify whether you wanted to know how much they earned, or how much they reported they earned.

There aren't names on the poll. It should be real earnings per year.
I don't see anyone posting on with a 250K earning power yet. That may really be as tough as they say it is, like in the top 2% - 5%
